*I have a little book, somewhere lost in the piles of books in my office, called “Lord, Thanks for*
*the Biscuits.”
It is written by an acquaintance.
He was actually a teacher at the Bible school that*
*my wife and I attended.
Years ago he spoke here at the church.
My wife and I were able to*
*spend some quality time with him and his wife; but it has been many, many years since we have*
*had contact with them.
The book is just a small little book, but it originates from a very*
*humorous story that illustrates an incredible spiritual truth.
He was raised on a farm with ten*
*brothers and sisters.
He talks about all the food they made and these incredible buttermilk*
*biscuits that his mother would make.
They would eat them with ribbon cane syrup.
He went*
*through all of this detail about taking a hot biscuit and poking a hole in it and pouring that syrup*
*in the hole.
He said, “You can imagine with ten children around the table, the food just vanished*
*very quickly; and there would always be that last biscuit left on the plate, and every child around*
*the table wanted that biscuit.”
He said, “I was the youngest at the table, but I knew how to get*
*the biscuit.”
He would say, “Father?” Dad would look at him down the table and say, ‘What,*
*son?’”
He would say, “Thank you for the biscuit!”
He said his dad would just nod, and they*
*would have to pick the biscuit up, and every child, with a frown on his face, would pass it all the*
*way down the table until the youngster got it.
He said, “I learned the secret.
I thanked my father*
*in advance.”*
